  Care workers are vital to our communities - some provide life-saving medicine and services when our loved ones are sick and others care for our families and our homes - no matter the type of work, all care workers deserve decent working conditions, fair wages and social protections! #InvestInCare #DayofCare #WorkerRights

• South African Community Health Care Worker Facebook Post

  Sister Sisanda has provided care for expecting and new mothers in her community for nearly 20 years, but it wasn’t until 2021 that her job was recognized as permanent work by South Africa’s government. Millions of care workers around the world who are mostly women of color and migrant workers, from community health care workers like Sisanda to domestic workers in Brazil, provide critical services but lack legal protections and tools to make their voices heard. Through their union, the National Education, Health and Allied Workers Union (NEHAWU), Sisanda and fellow coworkers fought for recognition and are now shifting their focus to using solidarity and collective power to lift up all community healthcare workers in the country. #InvestinCare #DayofCare #WorkerRights #MigrantWorkers

• Brazilian Domestic Worker Facebook Post

  Sister Chirlene’s work - work being done by more than 60 million domestic workers around the world - including many migrant workers and women of color - makes it possible for others to do their jobs. Their value to the world’s economy is undeniable, yet domestic workers are often excluded from labor standards that would ensure their rights. Brazil has ratified International Labor Organization Convention 189. And while the government has announced a new national care policy, domestic workers are not explicitly included. By organizing unions and forming coalitions and federations like the @IDWFed, Chirlene and domestic workers around the world are fighting to advance domestic workers’ rights everywhere. #InvestInCare #DayofCare #WorkerRights #MigrantWorkers

• Migrant Care Workers Facebook Post

  In many countries with a shortage of care workers, governments and employers are promoting labor migration to fill the gaps. Yet, too often, migration policies and practices ignore the rights of the workers who migrate. We will continue to work in solidarity with migrant care workers and the unions and organizations that represent them to ensure that governments promote fair regular migration pathways that ensure full worker rights and options for family unity and permanent residence while also preserving the ability for care workers to stay in their home countries. #InvestInCare #DayofCare #WorkerRights #MigrantWorkers

• Palestinian Paramedic Facebook Post

  Our sister Sabreen provides life-saving services as a paramedic. Her work is critical to her community, but her employer doesn’t always show it. She credits her union, the Union of Ambulance and Emergency Services Palestine, for ensuring that her rights as a worker are protected and she is paid what is outlined in their collective bargaining agreement. All care workers, whether they provide direct care to our loved ones who are sick or they care for our homes and children while we go to work, deserve decent working conditions, fair wages and social protections. #InvestInCare #DayofCare #WorkerRights
